No, I think between Hamilton and Ste. Genevieve, it is impassible mountains and rivers. They may just have to cancel and give the championship to the winner of Monroe City and Lincoln.

Whoever wins Valle Vs Penney will be the Class 1 Champs.. Not taking anything away from Lincoln or Monroe but Valle and Penney are on another level over every other team in class 1

Not if they can't play their game because you can't get from Hamilton to Ste. Genevieve. ;-)

About a 5 hour trip. The real kicker is that Penney has to go to Valle because Valle was awarded a bye in first round district play. Still scratching my head on that part of it.

Same Reason Maryviile going to St Louis. Miller Career Academy had first round bye.

If you read mshsaa handbook it dont consider week 10 as part of playoffs because schools playing share and keep gate. but for number of home games hosted in playoffs it does.

Still looks to me like a double bonus for a team that receives a bye. Get a free pass to the next round and pretty much guaranteed to host a quarter final and/or a semi final.

 

[Cards1968]

Yeah, when schools get other schools to close to get a bye the system is doomed.

Battle is traveling?? Maybe I'm missing, but has FZN really hosted less playoff games than them? Battles only been open for 3 years

Yeah, there is a lot of travel- and at visiting schools' expense, and the parents/ fans' expense. For a semi-final game. At least they changed to this format, so that (whatever reasons they changed it for, I never heard). I know we shouldn't question things, because this is how basketball does it.

If Hayti would've advanced through the district final and won the QF game, the Indians would've traveled to Hamilton. Hayti is 131 miles from exit 19 on Interstate 55 to the first Ste. Genevieve exit at exit 150. That trip to Hamilton would've been over 430 miles.

Just imagine if Maryville and Kennett ever match up in the semis. That is a haul!

 

[Mister_Wizard]

Webb City has had to travel over 3,000 miles. That's for championship games though, not semi-finals.

 

[CaptainMullet]

Longest trip I've made for a semifinal game has been from Adrian to Perryville... twice... both losses. 359 miles according to google maps.

From what I've seen on-line, there's plenty of seating at least.

I think in the NCAA Division II playoffs, if it is over 500 they get to fly.

539 miles (8 hours)

To put that in perspective. It is 533 miles from Chicago to Buffalo.

Chicago closer then Kennet. Its only 470 mile from Maryville to Chicago.

I think people forget how big of a state Missouri really is. I once drove from Maryville to Florence, Alabama (actually 3 times).
Well over 50% of our trip was in Missouri.

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

I believe tarkio played Valle for state one year wayyyyyy back when. If it wasn't for a neutral location, would have been a 413 mile trip.

Just imagine if tarkio or rock port would have ever had to play Hayti in the playoffs back then...
541 miles.

When you fly from KC to Atlanta, about half the flight is over Missouri.
